Pregis Holding II Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Business
     Pregis Corporation (“Pregis”) is an international manufacturer, marketer and supplier of protective packaging products and specialty packaging solutions. Pregis operates through four reportable segments: Protective Packaging, Flexible Packaging, Hospital Supplies, and Rigid Packaging.
     Pregis Corporation is 100%-owned by Pregis Holding II Corporation (“Pregis Holding II” or the “Company”) which is 100%-owned by Pregis Holding I Corporation (“Pregis Holding I”). AEA Investors LLC and its affiliates (the “Sponsors”) own approximately 98% of the issued and outstanding equity of Pregis Holding I, with the remainder held by management. AEA Investors LLC is a New York-based private equity investment firm.
Basis of Presentation
     The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Management believes these financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
     These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
     Separate financial statements of Pregis Corporation are not presented since the floating rate senior secured notes due April 2013 and the 12.375% senior subordinated notes due October 2013 issued by Pregis Corporation are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured and senior subordinated basis, respectively, by Pregis Holding II and all existing domestic subsidiaries of Pregis Corporation and since Pregis Holding II has no operations or assets separate from its investment in Pregis Corporation (see Note 15).
2 . RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurement. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157, deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The implementation of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2008, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. See Note 6 for additional information.

Table of Contents

     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008, the first day of its 2008 fiscal year. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations since the Company did not elect the fair value measurement option for any of its financial assets or liabilities.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, which revised SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquiror to measure the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) will also impact the accounting for transaction costs and restructuring costs as well as the initial recognition of contingent assets and liabilities assumed during a business combination. In addition, under SFAS No. 141(R), adjustments to the acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position balances occuring outside the measurement period are recorded as a component of income tax expense, rather than goodwill. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The provisions of SFAS No. 141(R) are applied prospectively and will impact all acquisitions consummated subsequent to adoption. The Company has not yet determined the effect on its financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141(R).
     In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 expands quarterly disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

5. DEBT
     The Company’s long-term debt consists of the following:
                 
    June 30,     December 31,  
    2008     2007  
Senior secured credit facilities:
               
Term B-1 facility, due October, 2012
  $ 85,580     $ 86,020  
Term B-2 facility, due October, 2012
    104,115       97,033  
Senior secured notes, due April, 2013
    157,440       145,980  
Senior subordinated notes, due October, 2013, net of discount of $2,109 at June 30, 2008 and $2,248 at December 31, 2007

Long-term debt
  $ 494,031     $ 475,604  
 
           
     For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the revaluation of the Company’s euro-denominated senior secured notes and Term B-2 facility resulted in unrealized foreign exchange losses of $19,078 and $5,496, respectively. These unrealized losses have been offset by unrealized gains of $23,675 and $6,900 relating to the revaluation of the Company’s euro-denominated inter-company notes receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These amounts are included net within foreign exchange gains in the Company’s statement of operations.
6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
     The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, the first day of fiscal year 2008. Under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and SFAS No. 157 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
     SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
     In order to manage its interest rate risk and to achieve a targeted ratio of variable-rate versus fixed-rate debt, in November 2005 the Company entered into an interest rate swap arrangement to swap a notional amount of 65 million euros from EURIBOR-based floating rates to fixed rates over the period of January 2006 to January 2010. The swap arrangement was designated as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of this instrument are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the fluctuations in the floating interest rate and are recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction is recorded. The accounting for the cash flow impact of the swap is recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the swap resulted in a reduction to interest expense of $319 and $669, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the swap resulted in a reduction to interest expense of $138 and $236, respectively.

Table of Contents

     At June 30, 2008, this interest rate swap contract was the Company’s only financial instrument requiring measurement at fair value. The swap is an over-the-counter contract and the inputs utilized to determine its fair value are obtained in quoted public markets. Therefore, the Company has categorized this swap agreement as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2008, the fair value of this instrument was estimated to be an asset of $2,708, which is reported within other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
     The carrying values of other financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of amounts outstanding under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities is considered to approximate fair value as interest rates vary, based on prevailing market rates. At June 30, 2008, the fair value of the Company’s senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes was estimated to be $144,845 and $144,563, respectively, based on quoted market prices. Under SFAS No. 159, entities are permitted to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

      During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company incurred a loss of $570 relating to storm damage at one of its European protective packaging facilities. This charge is included within other expense (income), net above. Additionally, in connection with its initiatives to reduce costs, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2,620 during the three months ended June 30, 2008. Restructuring activities are discussed further in Note 9 below.
9. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITY
     During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company established a reserve totaling $2,926, representing mostly employee severance and related costs, pursuant to a plan to restructure the workforce within its flexible packaging operations. The activities under the flexible packaging restructuring plan are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2008.
     During the three months ended June 30, 2008, management approved a company-wide restructuring program to further streamline the Company’s operations and reduce its overall cost structure. Activities include headcount reductions and other overhead cost savings initiatives. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded severance costs totaling $2,620 relating to these initiatives, which costs have been included as a component of other operating expense within the consolidated statement of operations. The Company expects to incur additional severance costs of approximately $2,100 within its protective packaging segment over the remainder of 2008 under these programs. The majority of the severance will be paid in 2008. The Company also expects to fund capital expenditures relating to certain of the cost reduction initiatives totaling approximately $2,700, which will be funded over the remainder of 2008 and into 2009.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
     The Company is party to a management agreement with its sponsors, AEA Investors LLC and its affiliates, who provide various advisory and consulting services. Fees and expenses incurred under this agreement totaled $462 and $441 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $924 and $816 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
     The Company had sales to affiliates of AEA Investors LLP totaling $83 and $221 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $1,129 and $1,999 for the same periods of 2007, respectively.

12. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
     The Company’s operations are classified into four principal reportable segments, which are determined on the basis of the types of products produced by each segment. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different pricing, production, and marketing strategies. The Company’s segments are as follows:
     Protective Packaging — This segment manufactures, markets, sells and distributes protective packaging products in North America and Europe. Its protective mailers, air-encapsulated bubble products, sheet foam, engineered foam, inflatable airbag systems, honeycomb products and other protective packaging products are manufactured and sold for use in cushioning, void-fill, surface-protection, containment and blocking and bracing applications.
     Flexible Packaging — This segment produces customized barrier films and converted products for niche segments of the food, medical, and non-food markets in Europe and Egypt.
     Hospital Supplies — This segment manufactures and supplies a full range of customizable operating drape products, procedure packs, protection products and sterilization packaging for the health care industry in Europe.

Table of Contents

     Rigid Packaging — This segment provides customized packaging products and solutions to the food and foodservice sectors in Europe.
     The Company’s North American protective packaging business, European protective packaging business, and Hexacomb product line each have its own management and sales staff. However, all of these businesses have product offerings that serve similar functions, undergo similar production processes, are marketed and distributed to like end users, and have comparable economic characteristics. Therefore, on the basis of these similarities, the Company has aggregated the North American and European protective packaging businesses and the Hexacomb product line to present one Protective Packaging reportable segment.
     Net sales by reportable segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended June 30,     Six Months Ended June 30,

     The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources to its segments based on segment EBITDA, which is calculated internally as gross margin (defined as net sales, less cost of sales excluding amortization and depreciation), less selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding corporate expenses as defined below). Segment EBITDA is a measure of segment profit or loss which is reported to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the Company’s segments and evaluating segment performance. In addition, segment EBITDA is included herein in conformity with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” Management believes that segment EBITDA provides useful information for analyzing and evaluating the underlying operating results of each segment. However, segment EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) before income taxes or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Additionally, the Company’s computation of segment EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies.

Additionally, corporate expenses may include other non-recurring or non-operational activity that the chief operating decision maker excludes in assessing business unit performance. These expenses, along with depreciation and amortization, other operating income/expense and other non-operating activity such as interest expense/income and foreign exchange gains/losses, are not considered in the measure of the segments’ operating performance, but are shown herein as reconciling items to the Company’s consolidated income (loss) before income taxes.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal matters
     The Company is party to legal proceedings arising from its operations. Related reserves are recorded when it is probable that liabilities exist and where reasonable estimates of such liabilities can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these proceedings, the Company’s management, based on its assessment of the facts and circumstances now known, does not believe that any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. However, actual outcomes may be different than expected and could have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.
Environmental matters
     The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution-control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates. Where it is probable that related liabilities exist and where reasonable estimates of such liabilities can be made, associated reserves are established. Estimated liabilities are subject to change as additional information becomes available regarding the magnitude of possible clean-up costs, the expense and effectiveness of alternative clean-up methods, and other possible liabilities associated with such situations. However, management believes that any additional costs that may be incurred as more information becomes available will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, although such costs could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.
Financing commitments
     At June 30, 2008, the Company had $9,854 of letters of credit outstanding under its senior credit facilities and other financing lines with local banks.
15. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
     Pregis Holdings II (presented as Parent in the following schedules), through its 100%-owned subsidiary, Pregis Corporation (presented as Issuer in the following schedules), issued senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes in connection with its acquisition by AEA Investors LLC and its affiliates. The senior notes are fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis and the senior subordinated notes are fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, in each case, by Pregis Holdings II and substantially all existing and future 100%-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries of Pregis Corporation (collectively, the “Guarantors”). All other subsidiaries of Pregis Corporation, whether direct or indirect, do not guarantee the senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes (the “Non-Guarantors”). The Guarantors also unconditionally guarantee the Company’s borrowings under its senior secured credit facilities on a senior secured basis.
     Additionally, the senior secured notes are secured on a second priority basis by liens on all of the collateral (subject to certain exceptions) securing Pregis Corporation’s new senior secured credit facilities. In the event that secured creditors exercise remedies with respect to Pregis and its guarantors’ pledged assets, the proceeds of the liquidation of those assets will first be applied to repay obligations secured by the first priority liens under the new senior secured credit facilities and any other first priority obligations.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
     This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). You can generally identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” or “will,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends and data are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
     Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, among others:
    risks associated with our substantial indebtedness and debt service;
 
    increases in prices and availability of resin and other raw materials, our ability to pass these increased costs on to our customers and our ability to raise our prices generally with respect to our products;
 
    risks of increasing competition in our existing and future markets, including competition from new products introduced by competitors;
 
    our ability to meet future capital requirements;
 
    general economic or business conditions, nationally, regionally or in the individual markets in which we conduct business, may deteriorate and have an adverse impact on our business strategy, including, without limitation, factors relating to interest rates and gross domestic product levels;
 
    risks related to our acquisition or divestiture strategy;
 
    our ability to retain management;
 
    our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;
 
    changes in governmental laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations;
 
    changes in foreign currency exchange rates; and
 
    other risks and uncertainties, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
     Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof.

Approximately 65% of our 2007 net sales were generated outside of the U.S., so we are sensitive to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily between the euro and pound sterling with the U.S. dollar.
     Our net sales for the second quarter and first half of 2008 increased 13.9% and 11.2% over the comparable periods of 2007, respectively. Excluding the impact of favorable foreign currency translation and sales from the Petroflax and Besin acquisitions made in the second half of 2007, our 2008 second quarter net sales increased 1.6% and our 2008 year-to-date net sales were flat compared to the prior year periods. The second quarter net sales benefited from volume growth across all of our businesses, which helped to mitigate volume shortfalls in the first quarter due to the weak economic conditions impacting our U.S. and European markets.
     Our gross margin (defined as net sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of net sales was 21.4% and 21.7% for the second quarter and first half of 2008, respectively, compared to 25.1% and 25.3% for the same periods of 2007. The margin decline in the 2008 periods is largely a result of escalating raw material and energy-related costs. The majority of the products we sell are plastic-resin based, and therefore our operations are highly sensitive to fluctuations in the costs of plastic resins. Resin costs in North America and Europe have increased 31% and 10%, respectively, compared to the first half of 2007, as measured by the respective market indices. As such, our resin and other raw material costs increased by approximately $10 million and $20 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods of 2007. As raw material costs continued to be at elevated levels through the second quarter, the selling price increases that we announced late last year and in the first quarter of 2008 have not been sufficient to recover our resin and other input costs at their current rate of increase. Additionally, our freight and utility costs were also comparably higher due to increases in the market prices of fuel and energy.
     We are taking a number of actions in order to mitigate these increases in raw material costs. We have announced additional selling price increases throughout our businesses, to take effect in the third quarter of 2008, which we expect to benefit our margins in the second half of 2008. In addition to implementing selling price increases, we are also committed to improving our profitability through a company-wide restructuring program which is now underway. The program includes headcount reductions and numerous material usage and productivity programs to maximize our operating effectiveness. Successful implementation of the restructuring program will help us further mitigate the impact of the weakened economic environment and drive long-term sustainable profit growth.

Segment Net Sales
     Net sales of our Protective Packaging segment increased 15.4% and 11.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods of 2007, respectively, driven by favorable foreign currency translation and revenue generated by the Petroflax and Besin entities acquired in the second half of 2007. In the second quarter, the segment also achieved pricing improvement, primarily from price increases implemented in the U.S. businesses in the first quarter, as well as modest volume growth. On a year-to-date basis, the segment experienced lower volumes, as a result of first quarter volume declines in both its U.S and European businesses due primarily to the weakened U.S. and European economies. Excluding the impacts of favorable foreign currency translation and revenue from acquisitions, net sales for the segment increased 2.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and decreased 0.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2008.
     Net sales of our Flexible Packaging segment increased 15.8% and 14.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods of 2007, respectively. The increase in both periods was driven by favorable foreign currency translation and higher product sales volume; however, this was partially offset by unfavorable product mix in the second quarter as a greater portion of the sales volume was lower priced unprinted films. Excluding the impact of favorable foreign currency effects, net sales for the segment increased 1.0% and 0.5% in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.
     Net sales of our Hospital Supplies segment increased 18.5% and 15.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods of 2007, respectively, due to favorable foreign currency translation and strong second quarter volumes driven by growth in procedure packs as well as our geographic expansion efforts, partially offset by price erosion resulting from the competitive market environment. Excluding the impact of favorable foreign currency effects, the segment’s net sales increased 2.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2008, while net sales were flat for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
     Net sales of our Rigid Packaging segment increased 2.3% and 1.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods of 2007, respectively, driven by higher sales volume of films and thermoformed products, partially offset by price erosion resulting from the competitive market environment. Excluding the impact of foreign currency effects, net sales for the segment increased 3.1% and 1.0% in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively
Gross Margin
     Our gross margin (defined as net sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of net sales was 21.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 25.1% for the same period of 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, our gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 21.7% compared to 25.3% for the same period of 2007. As mentioned previously, the most significant factor impacting our gross margin for both the quarter and year-to-date periods has been increased resin, fuel, and other raw material costs. Our underlying raw material costs have steadily increased since the beginning of 2007, which has narrowed the spread between our sales prices and material costs, causing our gross margin as a percentage of net sales to decrease on a year-over-year as well as on a sequential basis. We received nominal benefit in the second quarter relating to selling price increases implemented in the first quarter. We expect to realize increased benefit from these and subsequent additional price increases over the remainder of the year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.7 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods of 2007, respectively. As a percent of net sales, selling, general and administrative costs decreased to 12.5% and 12.9% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 13.5% for comparable periods of 2007. Excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation (approximately $2 million and $4 million, respectively) and incremental expenses from recent acquisitions (approximately $1.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively), selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased by approximately $1.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, reflecting cost savings from headcount reductions and other expense reductions resulting from our overhead optimization initiatives.
Other Operating Expense (Income), net
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, other operating expense (income), net totaled $3.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The comparable amounts in 2007 were negligible. In the second quarter of 2008, we recorded restructuring charges of $2.6 million, primarily for severance charges relating to headcount reductions driven by our cost reduction initiatives. See Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for details regarding the restructuring reserve activity. In the second quarter of 2008, we also recorded a charge of approximately $0.6 million relating to severe storm damage at our facility located in Wellen, Belgium.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
     Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and increased by $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the respective periods of 2007. While depreciation and amortization expense has increased due to unfavorable foreign currency translation, this has been substantially offset by the impact of lower average depreciation rates resulting from recent additions.
Segment Income
     We measure our segments’ operating performance on the basis of segment EBITDA, defined as net sales, less cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization), less selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding corporate expenses). See Note 12 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of total segment EBITDA to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes. Segment EBITDA for the relevant periods is as follows:

     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Protective Packaging segment’s EBITDA decreased $5.6 million and $11.3 million compared to the same periods of 2007, predominantly due to the impact of increased raw material and fuel costs, partially offset by savings generated by productivity and cost reduction initiatives.
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Flexible Packaging segment’s EBITDA increased $0.7 million and $1.1 million compared to the same periods of 2007. For both periods, the increase reflects savings attributed to productivity improvements, reduced selling, general and administrative costs, and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by increased raw material costs.
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, EBITDA of the Hospital Supplies segment increased $0.6 million and decreased $0.2 million compared to the same periods of 2007. EBITDA for the second quarter reflects the impact of sales volume increases, productivity improvements and favorable currency, offset in part by price erosion resulting from competitive market conditions. EBITDA for the six months also reflects the impact of sales volume increases, productivity improvements and favorable currency; however, these were more than offset by price erosion and certain manufacturing inefficiencies in the first quarter.
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Rigid Packaging segment’s EBITDA decreased $0.4 million and $0.7 million compared to the same periods of 2007, due to price erosion and higher raw material costs, offset in part by increased sales volumes, productivity and overhead costs reductions.
Interest Expense
     Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was relatively flat, while interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $0.8 million compared to the same periods of 2007. In 2008, the U.S. dollar equivalent interest on our euro-denominated debt has increased due to the strengthening of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar; however, this has been offset by a reduction in the second quarter in the LIBOR rate underlying a portion of our senior secured credit facility, as well as the positive impact from the interest rate swap agreement which fixed a portion of our EURIBOR-based floating rate notes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we have reduced our interest expense by $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, on the basis of settlements from this swap arrangement.

Foreign Exchange Loss (Gain), Net
     In three months ended June 30, 2008, we generated a net foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million, reflecting the net impact of a slight strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the quarter on revaluation of our euro-denominated third-party debt and inter-company loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we generated a net foreign exchange gain of $2.9 million, most of which relates to net unrealized foreign exchange gains resulting from the revaluation of our euro-denominated third-party debt and inter-company loans.
Income Tax Expense
     Our effective income tax rate was approximately 76.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, which compares to 68.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s effective rate was increased from a benefit at the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to establishment of additional valuation allowances taken against losses in certain countries that are not certain to result in future tax benefits. For the 2007 period, the Company’s effective rate was increased from the U.S. federal statutory rate also due to the establishment of valuation allowances for non-deductible losses, as well as interest expense incurred in certain foreign businesses that is not deductible for statutory tax purposes.
Net Income (Loss)
     For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we generated a net loss of $5.6 million, compared to net income of $0.8 million for the same period of 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we generated a net loss of $8.8 million, compared to net income of $3.1 million for the same period of 2007. As discussed herein, our 2008 net loss is mainly a result of the lower gross margins achieved during the period due to increased resin and raw material costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     The following table shows our sources and uses of funds for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007:

     Operating Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, cash provided by operating activities was $8.1 million, a decrease of $19.8 million from the same period of 2007. The decline was driven by lower earnings in the 2008 period. Additionally, our investment in working capital has increased in the 2008 period. Our inventory levels are higher due to increased raw material costs, while our trade receivables have increased due to the higher level of sales in 2008.

     Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities totaled $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $4.2 million compared to the same period of 2007. The increase in cash used in investing activities is due to timing of our 2008 capital expenditures. Through the first six months of 2008, we made further investments in new printing and laminating equipment related to the expansion of our flexible packaging capacity. Additionally, we made significant investments in inflatable machines within our protective packaging businesses to support growth in this area. In the 2007 period, cash used for investing activities of $13.6 million related primarily to capital expenditures.
     Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities for both the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 includes scheduled principal payments of approximately $0.9 million on our long-term bank debt, net of activity on capital lease debt.
     Our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to debt service requirements and capital investment in our businesses. We currently expect our 2008 capital expenditures to total approximately $28 to $32 million and our 2008 debt service to total approximately $48 million. Our primary source of liquidity will continue to be cash flows from operations, but we also have availability under a $50 million revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $26.5 million and availability of $43.9 million under the revolving credit facility, after taking into account $6.1 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility.
     Senior Secured Credit Facilities. On October 13, 2005, Pregis entered into senior secured credit facilities which provided for a revolving credit facility and two term loans: an $88.0 million term B-1 facility and a 68.0 million term loan B-2 facility, both of which mature in October 2012. The revolving credit facility matures in October 2011 and provides for borrowings of up to $50.0 million, a portion of which may be made available to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary borrowers in euros and/or pounds sterling. The revolving credit facility also includes a swing-line loan sub-facility and a letter of credit sub-facility. The revolving credit facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, (1) an alternate base rate or (2) LIBOR or EURIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 0.375% to 1.00% for base rate advances and 1.375% to 2.00% for LIBOR or EURIBOR advances, depending on the leverage ratio of the Company, as defined in the credit agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee of 0.375% to 0.50% on the revolving credit facility depending on the leverage ratio of the Company, as well as customary letter of credit fees.
     The term loan B-1 facility amortizes at a rate of 1% per annum in equal quarterly installments during the first six years thereof, with the balance payable in equal quarterly installments during the seventh year thereof. The term loan B-2 facility amortizes at a rate of 1% per annum in equal quarterly installments during the first six years thereof, with the balance payable in equal quarterly installments during the seventh year thereof.
     Subject to exceptions and, in the case of asset sale proceeds, reinvestment options, Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities require mandatory prepayments of the loans from excess cash flows, asset sales and dispositions (including insurance and condemnation proceeds), issuances of debt and issuances of equity.
     Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities and related hedging arrangements are guaranteed by Pregis Holding II, the direct holding parent company of Pregis, and all of Pregis’s current and future domestic subsidiaries and, if no material tax consequences would result, Pregis’s future foreign subsidiaries and, subject to certain exceptions, are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Pregis’s and its current and future domestic subsidiaries’ existing and future assets (subject to certain exceptions), and a first priority pledge of the capital stock of Pregis and the guarantor subsidiaries and an aggregate of 66% of the capital stock of Pregis’s first-tier foreign subsidiary.

Table of Contents

     Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities require that it comply on a quarterly basis with certain financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio test and a minimum cash interest coverage ratio test. In addition, Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities include negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, that restrict or limit Pregis’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to, among other things:
    incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness, guaranty obligations or hedging arrangements,
 
    incur liens or agree to negative pledges in other agreements,
 
    engage in sale and leaseback transactions,
 
    make capital expenditures,

    in the case of subsidiaries, enter into agreements restricting dividends and distributions,
 
    engage in mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations,
 
    prepay, redeem or purchase certain indebtedness,
 
    amend or otherwise alter the terms of Pregis’s organizational documents, Pregis’s indebtedness and other material agreements,
 
    sell assets or engage in receivables securitization,
 
    transact with affiliates, and
 
    alter the business that Pregis conducts.
     As of June 30, 2008, Pregis was in compliance with all covenants contained in its senior secured credit facilities.
     Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. On October 13, 2005, Pregis issued 100.0 million aggregate principal amount of second priority senior secured floating rate notes due 2013 (the “senior secured notes”) and $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 123/8% senior subordinate notes due 2013 (the “senior subordinated notes”).
     The senior secured notes mature on April 15, 2013. Interest accrues at a floating rate equal to EURIBOR plus 5.00% per year and is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. The senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Pregis Holding II, Pregis’s immediate parent, and each of Pregis’s current and future domestic subsidiaries. Pregis may redeem some or all of the senior secured notes at redemption prices equal to 101% of their principal amount in the 12 months beginning October 15, 2007 and 100% of their principal amount beginning October 15, 2008. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, Pregis will be required to make an offer to repurchase each holder’s notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
     The senior subordinated notes mature on October 15, 2013. Interest accrues at a rate of 12.375% and is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The notes are senior subordinated obligations and rank junior in right of payment to all of Pregis’s senior indebtedness. The senior subordinated notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by Pregis Holding II and each of Pregis’s current and future domestic subsidiaries. Pregis may redeem up to 35% of the senior subordinated notes at any time prior to October 15, 2008 with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 112.375% of their principal amount plus accrued interest. Pregis may

redeem some or all of the senior subordinated notes at any time prior to October 15, 2009 at a redemption price equal to par plus a make-whole premium. Pregis may redeem some or all of the notes on or after October 15, 2009 at redemption prices equal to 106.188% of their principal amount (in the 12 months beginning October 15, 2009), 103.094% of their principal amount (in the 12 months beginning October 15, 2010) and 100% of their principal amount (beginning October 15, 2011).
     The indentures governing the senior secured notes and the senior subordinated notes contain covenants that limit or prohibit Pregis’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, make investments, create liens, incur obligations that restrict the ability of Pregis’s restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to Pregis, sell assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, create unrestricted subsidiaries, and merge or consolidate with other companies or sell substantially all of Pregis’s assets. The indentures also contain reporting covenants regarding delivery of annual and quarterly financial information. The indenture governing the senior secured notes limits Pregis’s ability to incur first priority secured debt to an amount which results in its secured debt leverage ratio being equal to 3:1, plus $50 million, and prohibits it from incurring additional second priority secured debt other than by issuing additional senior secured notes. The indenture governing the senior secured notes also limits Pregis’s ability to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes prohibits Pregis from incurring debt that is senior to such notes and subordinate to any other debt.
     The senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes are not listed on any national securities exchange in the United States. The senior secured notes were listed on the Irish Stock Exchange in June 2007. However, there can be no assurance that the senior secured notes will remain listed.
     Collateral for the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes. The senior secured floating rate notes are secured by a second priority lien, subject to permitted liens, on all of the following assets owned by Pregis or the guarantors, to the extent such assets secure Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities on a first priority basis (subject to exceptions):
  (1)   substantially all of Pregis’s and each guarantor’s existing and future property and assets, including, without limitation, real estate, receivables, contracts, inventory, cash and cash accounts, equipment, documents, instruments, intellectual property, chattel paper, investment property, supporting obligations and general intangibles, with minor exceptions; and
 
  (2)   all of the capital stock or other securities of Pregis’s and each guarantor’s existing or future direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital stock or other securities of Pregis’s and each guarantor’s existing or future direct foreign subsidiaries, but only to the extent that the inclusion of such capital stock or other securities will mean that the par value, book value as carried by us, or market value (whichever is greatest) of such capital stock or other securities of any subsidiary is not equal to or greater than 20% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured floating rate notes outstanding.
     As of December 31, 2007, the capital stock of the following subsidiaries of Pregis constitute collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes:

     As described above, under the collateral agreement, the capital stock pledged to the senior secured floating rate noteholders constitutes collateral only to the extent that the par value or market value or book value (whichever is greatest) of the capital stock does not exceed 20% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured floating rate notes. This threshold is 20,000,000, or, at the December 31, 2007 exchange rate of U.S. dollars to euros of 1.4598:1.00, approximately $29.2 million. As of December 31, 2007, the book value and the market value of the shares of capital stock of Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc. were approximately $30.2 million and $75.0 million, respectively; the book value and the market value of the shares of capital stock of Hexacomb Corporation were approximately $23.1 million and $74.6 million, respectively; and the book value and the market value of 66% of the shares of capital stock of Pregis (Luxembourg) Holding S.àr.l. were approximately $23.0 million and $84.9 million, respectively. Therefore, in accordance with the collateral agreement, the collateral pool for the senior secured floating rate notes includes approximately $29.2 million with respect to the shares of capital stock of each of Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc., Hexacomb Corporation, and Pregis (Luxembourg) Holding S.àr.l. Since the book value and market value of the shares of capital stock of our other domestic subsidiary are each less than the $29.2 million threshold, it is not effected by the 20% clause of the collateral agreement.
     For the year ended December 31, 2007, certain historical corporate expenses incurred by Pregis Management Corporation were allocated to each of the three entities, Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc., Hexacomb Corporation, and Pregis (Luxembourg) Holding S.àr.l, in order to better reflect their current book values for presentation herein on a fully-allocated basis.
     The market value of the capital stock of the guarantors and subsidiaries constituting collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes has been estimated by us on an annual basis, using a market approach. At the time of the acquisition of Pregis by AEA Investors LLC and its affiliates, the purchase price paid for these entities was determined based on a multiple of EBITDA, as was contractually agreed in the stock purchase agreement. Since that time, we have followed a similar methodology, using a multiple of EBITDA, based on that of recent transactions of comparable companies, to determine the enterprise value of these entities. To arrive at an estimate of the market value of the entities’ capital stock, we have subtracted from the enterprise value the existing debt, net of cash on hand, and have also made adjustments for the businesses’ relative portion of corporate expenses. We have determined that this methodology is a reasonable and appropriate means for determining the market value of the capital stock pledged as collateral. We intend to complete these estimates of value of the capital stock of these subsidiaries for so long necessary to determine our compliance with the collateral arrangement governing the notes.
     The value of the collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes at any time will depend on market and other economic conditions, including the availability of suitable buyers for the collateral. As of December 31, 2007, the value of the collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes totaled approximately $456.1 million, estimated as the sum of (1) the book value of the total assets of Pregis and

each guarantor, excluding intercompany activity (which amount totaled $368.5 million), and (2) the collateral value of the capital stock, as outlined above (which amount totaled $87.6 million). The value of the collateral has not changed materially as of June 30, 2008. Any proceeds received upon the sale of collateral would be paid first to the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities, who have a first lien security interest in the collateral, before any payment could be made to holders of the senior secured floating rate notes. There is no assurance that any collateral value would remain for the holders of the senior secured floating rate notes after payment in full to the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities.
     Covenant Ratios Contained in the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. The indentures governing the senior secured floating rate notes and senior subordinated notes contain two material covenants which utilize financial ratios. Non-compliance with these covenants could result in an event of default under the indentures and, under certain circumstances, a requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the notes and could trigger a cross-default under Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities or other indebtedness we may incur in the future. First, Pregis is permitted to incur indebtedness under the indentures if the ratio of Consolidated Cash Flow to Fixed Charges on a pro forma basis (referred to in the indentures as the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”) is greater than 2:1 or, if the ratio is less, only if the indebtedness falls into specified debt baskets, including, for example, a credit agreement debt basket, an existing debt basket, a capital lease and purchase money debt basket, an intercompany debt basket, a permitted guarantee debt basket, a hedging debt basket, a receivables transaction debt basket and a general debt basket. In addition, under the senior secured floating rate notes indenture, Pregis is permitted to incur first priority secured debt only if the ratio of Secured Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow on a pro forma basis (referred to in the senior secured floating rate notes indenture as the “Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio”) is equal to or less than 3:1, plus $50 million. Second, the restricted payment covenant provides that Pregis may declare certain dividends, or repurchase equity securities, in certain circumstances only if Pregis’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than 2:1.
     As used in the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Cash Flow, commonly referred to as Adjusted EBITDA, is calculated by adding Consolidated Net Income, income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses, amounts paid pursuant to the management agreement with AEA Investors LLC, and the amount of any restructuring charge or reserve (including, without limitation, retention, severance, excess pension costs, contract termination costs and cost to consolidate facilities and relocate employees). In calculating the ratios, Consolidated Cash Flow is further adjusted by giving pro forma effect to acquisitions and dispositions that occurred in the prior four quarters, including certain cost savings and synergies expected to be obtained in the succeeding twelve months. In addition, the term Net Income is adjusted to exclude any gain or loss from the disposition of securities, and the term Consolidated Net Income is adjusted to exclude, among other things, the non-cash impact attributable to the application of the purchase method of accounting in accordance with GAAP, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles, and other extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring gains or losses. While the determination of appropriate adjustments is subject to interpretation and requires judgment, we believe the adjustments listed below are in accordance with the covenants discussed above. The credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities calculates Adjusted EBITDA (referred to therein as “Consolidated EBITDA”) in a similar manner.

(1)   Other non-cash charges (income) include (a) net unrealized foreign currency transaction gains, arising principally from the revaluation of our euro-denominated third-party debt and intercompany notes receivable, (b) non-cash compensation expense arising from the grant of Pregis Holding I options, (c) a non-cash trademark impairment charge of $403, determined pursuant to the Company’s 2007 annual impairment test, and (d) other non-cash charges that will not result in future cash settlement, such as losses on fixed asset disposals.
 
(2)   As provided by our indentures, we adjusted for gains or losses deemed to be unusual or nonrecurring, including (a) adjustments for costs and expenses related to acquisition, disposition or equity offering activities, including a $3.1 million charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007 for third party due diligence and legal costs related to a potential acquisition that was ultimately not consummated, (b) severance and related expenses due to the separation of certain former executive management and implementation of our cost reduction initiatives, and (c) in 2007, restructuring costs incurred principally by the flexible packaging segment, net of the nonrecurring gain on an insurance settlement.

(3)   Our indentures also require us to make adjustments for fees paid under the management agreement with AEA Investors LLC.
 
(4)   Our indentures also permit adjustments to net income on a pro forma basis for certain costs savings that we expect to achieve with respect to acquisitions or dispositions. Therefore, in the twelve months ended June 30, 2008, we have adjusted for approximately $1.1 million relating to pre-acquisition earnings and pro forma cost savings for anticipated synergies relating to the June 2007 acquisition of Petroflax, a Romanian protective packaging provider and the December 2007 acquisition of the European honeycomb manufacturer, Besin. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve these comparable earnings or estimated savings in the future.
     Local lines of credit. From time to time, certain of the foreign businesses utilize various lines of credit in their operations. These lines of credit are generally used as overdraft facilities or for issuance of trade letters of credit and are in effect until cancelled by one or both parties. As of June 30, 2008, we had availability of $13.1 million on these lines, after considering outstanding trade letters of credit and bank overdrafts totaling $3.7 million.
     Long-term Liquidity. We believe that cash flow generated from operations and our borrowing capacity will be adequate to meet our obligations and business requirements for the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that anticipated net sales growth and operating improvements will be realized or that future borrowings will be available under Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, will depend upon our future performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. Some other risks that could materially adversely affect our ability to meet our debt service obligations include, but are not limited to, risks related to increases in the cost of resin, our ability to protect our intellectual property, rising interest rates, a decline in the overall U.S. and European economies, weakening in our end markets, the loss of key personnel, our ability to continue to invest in equipment, and a decline in relations with our key distributors and dealers. In addition, any of the other items discussed in the “Risk Factors,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 may also significantly impact our liquidity.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
     Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While our estimates and assumptions are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since the date of our 2007 Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed since December 31, 2007. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, see our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (its principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (its principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that as of June 30, 2008 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective. In addition, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
     We are party to various lawsuits, legal proceedings and administrative actions arising out of the normal course of our business. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these lawsuits, proceedings and actions, management, based on its assessment of the facts and circumstances now known, does not believe that any of these lawsuits, proceedings and actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position.  However, actual outcomes may be different than expected and could have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
     There have been no material changes to the factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
